AHC: keep PH safe!

What POD (no later than 1939) would have resulted in the KB's attack on Pearl Harbor failing to permanently disable any battleships?
 
Torpedo nets may be enough to save the Oklahoma. As for the Arizona I'd say either have strong enough CAP/AAA to disrupt the bombing run on her or have someone realize the peril of being a sitting duck and flood her magazines.
 
With the better part of three years it should be easy, have a look at CalBears Pacific War Redux for clues to the potential power of the US.

I've never been certain about the torpedo nets; Taranto had plenty, and they barely slowed the FAA down...The Japanese pilots are just as good.

The best way to save BB's is about 20 minutes warning, not enough for them to sail out and get sunk but enough to establish watertight integrety on the ships. The other way would be to have an excercise planned for the USAAF fighters that morning so they would be ready to take off, with guns....:p

The Arizona still blows up, and the Oklahoma capsizes. But yes, that's roughly the POD that I was looking for.
